Amazon AppStream 2.0 – Introduction

Amazon AppStream 2.0 lets you move your desktop applications to AWS, without rewriting them! It’s easy to install your applications on AppStream 2.0, set launch configurations, and make your applications available to users. AppStream 2.0 offers a wide selection of virtual machine options so that you can select the instance type that best matches your application requirements, and set the auto-scale parameters so that you can easily meet the needs of your end users. AppStream 2.0 allows you to launch applications in your own network, which means your applications can interact with your existing AWS resources.

This course covers an introduction to the Amazon AppStream 2.0 service. We walk through the initial steps to get your AppStream service configured and publishing applications. We will look at what AppStream is, how and when to leverage it, what the console looks like (both web and aws cli) what Stacks, Fleets and the Image builder are and finally walk through a scripted build example for managing your AppStream images.

Prior Learning: You should have basic prior knowledge of fundamental networking and cloud concepts and be competent with Microsoft Windows operating systems.
